Runway Repair Begins

Here’s a story from Terre Haute, Indiana, where construction workers are starting to drill and fill holes (about 1,100 of them) in an effort to support the airport and runways that lie above vacant mine caverns. In 2004, a ramp collapsed and sank about a foot. This event sparked interest in DNR officials who, in turn, planned and funded this project to prevent a bigger sinkhole from happening.
